You have statistics for the claim that the majority of white people are evangelicals? Wikipedia says that the most current estimates put white evangelicals at about 17% of the population, while the total white population is 76%. I grant you that’s still way, way too many evangelicals, but it’s not anything like a…

Okay, okay, but I literally just finished having a conversation with my 16-year-old wherein she disclosed that she and her nogoodnik 16-year-old friends are planning to go for fondue this Friday. At an actual, fancy fondue place. It’s the highlight of the weekend they have planned together. Like if you ask her what…

Does he die in the end? Cos I’m only watching a movie with that prick Morden in it if the bastard dies in the end. Like, I want to look up into his lifeless eyes and wave... like this.

I still can’t figure out why this is a thing in the first place, and how it became (seemingly in the last three years or so) a “tradition”. But I usually just file it away in the very large file of “weird things Christians do around this time of year”, along with the ginormous blow-up alcoholic Santas on the front…

Yeah, GDT is like the last living filmmaker whose movies I will ALWAYS show up for, but news about projects he’s attached to always goes straight into the category of “things that have equal chances of happening next year, happening in ten years, or never happening but he will make something else that I will fall head…

Wouldn’t it be quicker to just write a program in BASIC that would print “my inner goddess something something” for about two hundred pages?

/ pushes glasses up...

I love this game to bits, but I’m not at all sure I want it as a computer game. It’s so great as a card game.

I just wish they’d stop, because the Crow was never a very good movie. It wasn’t even a very good comic book. And the cynic in me strongly believes that if it hadn’t become instantly notorious for being the movie Bruce Lee’s son died while making, it would have completely disappeared in a fortnight. No need to revisit…

Original R2 action figure was better than several of the original lineup. Han had a head two sizes too big and it didn’t even look like him, as well as an arm permanently stuck in an awkward pose. Luke looked nothing like himself and had a stupid blue piece of plastic sticking out of his hand all the time. Vader had a…

I won’t deny there’s a small part of me that would really like to see what Tarentino would come up with. But the rest of me is screaming NO NO NO NO NOOOOOOOO!!! I hate Into Darkness as much as the next Trekkie, but before and after ID there were two very solid Star Trek movies - especially Beyond, which I think is…

So, can anybody tell me if any of the new novels are worth paying Kindle prices for? Like, actually good books? I like Chuck Wendig’s style in his own books, but excerpts of Aftermath that I read here on io9 were not very good. And I have a weird craving for some Star Wars fiction.

Then again, we build stuff near volcanoes and on fault lines every day, and it’s not like you can always tell when a volcano is going to become active. Maybe they did a study that said there was a 1% chance of an eruption in the next 100 years, and that 1% happened. This is very far from being the most implausible…

As much as I’m hearing about the motion controls, I still haven’t had any confirmation about whether you can reverse them for left-handed play. Gyro aiming is no good to me if I have to aim with my dumb right hand. Can you tell me if the controls are reversable?

Every freaking character Marvel ever published is far more qualified than is realistic. It’s fantasy, and it’s just about the most unrealistic subgenre of fantasy you can find. But sure, let’s focus on how Riri is unrealistic.

I mean, the article specifically mentions keeping four miles away from the volcano as a safe distance, and that the government says the majority of the island is totally safe, and that a bigger eruption is not anticipated. Not seeing a lot of blowing things out of proportion there.

Potato skin is delicious and contains as many nutrients as the flesh overall. Most of the calcium in a potato is in the skin, and nearly all of the iron. It’s not a “byproduct” it’s an equal part of the product.

Look at Aziz Ansari, you say? Okay, let’s look at the entire episode of Master Of None called “Indians on TV” which is devoted to the fact that this is a huge problem and that most Indian actors never have a chance to do anything about it.

And so is the Muppet Movie.

I’m really glad it’s not my job to market pro-American WWII games to the Japanese. I mean how do you even begin to make this game cool to the people who were on the opposing side and had two of their cities vaporized by American forces? Maybe this kind of WTF marketing is the best they could think of, given the…
